(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
The Young Judaea Convention which was held in Long Branch at the Scarboro Hotel closed with the re-election of Nathan Straus as chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Dr. David de Sola Pool as president. Miss Sara Kitay of Paterson, N. J., Abe Tannenbaum and David Schneeberg of New York, were elected to the Administrative Committee.
It was decided to adopt a definite Palestine project, and the recommendation was made that the Young Judaea undertake the purchase of Madim, the village of the Maccabees.
A resolution recommending the adoption of a merit system in Young Judaea for honor awards for knowledge and service was adopted.
A budget of $93,000 was adopted. In addition to maintaining the national administrative headquarters, the budget will be used to defray the expense of educational material and guidance for club programs, pamphlets and publications for the Jewish youth on Jewish historical, current events and Palestine subjects, the training of leaders for Young Judaea groups, supervision of Young Judaea work, the maintenance of regional offices, publication of the Young Judaean magazine, and national contests in various Jewish fields. The income from Young Judaea clubs, the publication, and contributions to the organization, is about $30,000. The balance will be raised in a national campaign.
